• The Government Unconstitutionally Labels ICE Observers as Domestic Terrorists (cato.org) — Federal immigration and border agents have repeatedly warned and sometimes arrested people who follow and record them, including a documented incident in Berwyn where observers were threatened with arrest for “impeding.” The piece argues this is part of a broader national policy labeling some ICE observers as domestic terrorists and calls for Congress to step in to protect First Amendment rights.
